Add 1 cup of water to your crock pot and turn it on high. Drop in the beef stock cube and stir until it dissolves.

Chop your bacon and fry it in a large skillet.

Slice the sausage how you would prefer - in half or 4's. Add the sausage to the frying bacon.

Cut your onions into rounds and add them into the sausage and bacon; fry until translucent.

Peel, rinse and cut your potatoes into large chunks. Cut up your carrots.

Once the meat and onions are through cooking add them into the crock pot. Top with the potatoes and carrots.

Put the lid on the crock pot and cook at high (4 hours) or low setting (8 hours) until done.
